9 Arrogant Man

The next day, just as Ken stepped out of his modest boarding house, he was immediately confronted by Tony. "What are you doing?"

"I have prepared a luxurious apartment near your office, young master. You can even walk to the office because it's so close to your office, young master. You will be in the same apartment complex as the senior brokers in your office, young master. How great is my search?" said Tony proudly.

Ken immediately frowned. "Do you realize what you're doing, heh?"

"What do you mean, young master?"

"If I stay there, there will be many people who work in my office who will be surprised."

"Wonder how, young master?"

"Yes, wonder. How can a cleaning service worker like me live in a luxury apartment? Isn't that right? When I walk out of the apartment or wait for the elevator, I'm bound to run into people from my office. My cover will be blown, you know!"

"Yes, yes. But, Great Mistress Maggie told me to find a proper place for you to live, young master. The big lady can't bear for you to stay in this ugly house, young master." Tony pointed towards Kevin's boarding house.

"Just tell my mama that I want to stay in this house." Ken left Tony to head towards his old motorcycle parked in the courtyard of his boarding house.

"Then, second alternative, young master. I've found another place to live and if you agree, I'll rent it immediately. How about it, young master?"

"I told you that I don't want to leave this boarding house. Period," Ken said firmly.

"But, this house is still behind Lidya's house, young master. You can even see her secretly from a distance without her seeing. You can be near her and you can fulfill the wishes of the big mistress who wants you to be comfortable in your new place. How about it, young master?"

Ken was silent. Ken began to think about Tony's suggestion.

"After all, that house will also be where I'll be living with Andreas and the others."

"Andreas? What about Andreas?" Ken remembered Andreas who was Ken's bodyguard in the past when Ken was in Hong Kong.

"Since the young master hasn't come home yet, the great mistress sent Andreas and his team to guard the young master here. The great mistress doesn't believe that I'm the only one guarding you, young master."

"That's right. Besides, if it's just you, I'm usually the one protecting you, not you protecting me," Ken snapped with a laugh.

Tony scratched his head, which wasn't itchy. "But at least, my energy and brains are needed to help out, young master."

"Yeah, never mind. Since the house is behind Lidya's, I'll stay there."

"That's right, young master. When you go out of the neighborhood, just use a car with thick window film so Lidya won't see it. Throw the motorcycle in the river, young master," Tony said as he glanced at Ken's motorcycle.

"It's arbitrary. After all, this bike is historic to me, you know, because I bought it with my own salary outside the Diamond Group."

"In that case, sell it by the kilo, young master. So that the history can be turned into money."

"Husss."

During lunch time. Suddenly Ken got a WA message from Lidya inviting Ken to meet on the 5th floor. Ken rushed to the 5th floor.

Ken just realized that this 5th floor was also the floor where the office canteen was located when he saw many workers in this office passing by in this place.

And Ken's prediction was correct, when Ken asked via WA message about Lidya's position, Lidya said that she was in the cafeteria in the second front seat.

Ken immediately headed towards the direction that Lidya was referring to. From outside, Ken had seen Lidya who was sitting in the place Lidya meant and was now waving at Ken.

"Have you been long?" asked Ken as he sat down in front of Lidya.

"Not long, really. But I was hoping you'd come sooner so he'd see I already had you and back off," Lidya said as if hiding something.

"What do you mean? Oh, yes. I'll order some food first."

"I've ordered chicken rice, mineral water and chicken satay for you. I hope you like it. It will be here in a while."

"Okay. Then what did you mean, just now? Who do you want to see me?"

"Ardy."

"Who's Ardy?" Ken asked curiously.

"He is the son of Mr. Aji, the main commissioner of this company."

"So?"

"Ardy has had a crush on me for a long time, but I didn't want to because he's a playboy and I'm not interested in that kind of playboy."

"Did he approach you?"

"He just came back from America because he didn't do well there. Then, he immediately became one of the directors in this company. He officially became the finance director this morning."

"So?"

"Just this morning, he approached me again, asking me out while promising me a higher position and a high-profile stock investor if I would just go along with him."

"What did you say?"

"Of course I didn't want to. Then I told him that I already had you. Ugh... there she comes." Lidya's eyes darted towards Ken's back so Ken immediately turned his body to look behind him.

An arrogant young man with his gaze fixed on Lidya was now approaching where Ken and Lidya were sitting. He was accompanied by three men almost the same age as him.

The young man stopped beside the table where Ken and Lidya were sitting and looked at Lidya and asked, "is this your girlfriend that you mentioned earlier?" the young man pointed at Ken without looking at Ken.

The arrogant young man's question made many people who were eating in this cafeteria including the waitress and the cafeteria lady, now look curiously at Lidya. They were all waiting for Lidya's answer, so this was an opportunity for the flies to taste the food of the canteen's guests.

"Yes, Ardy. Exactly. This is Ken, my boyfriend. He and I just started dating last night," said Lidya.

The arrogant Ardy immediately frowned. A friend of Ardy's whispered something into Ardy's ear.

Then Ardy burst out laughing. "Cleaning service? Hahaha. Are you dating a cleaning service? Hahahaha. Isn't there anything else?" Ardy was so shocked to hear that Ken, Lidya's boyfriend was just a cleaning service in this office.

"He is indeed a cleaning service. So what's the problem, huh?" Lidya challenged.

"He doesn't deserve you at all, Lidya."

"Only I can decide who deserves me. Because this is my life. I'm the one living it. Not you," Lidya said, glaring at Ardy.
